Abstract:The effects of pre-chamber channels with different diameters and various shapes, including the flared and contracted shape, on engine knock were studied based on three-dimensional numerical simulation. Results illustrate that, under knock condition, the smaller diameter of the pre-chamber channel, the smaller pressure difference caused by the flame jet. As a result, the pressure difference enhancement effect caused by the heat release of the flame surface can be reduced, and the knock intensity can be further reduced. The flared pre-chamber channel could decrease the initial pressure difference. Nevertheless, a phenomenon of continuous flame jet flowing into the main chamber occurs which will increase the intensity of pressure difference and knock. On the contrary, the contracted pre-chamber channel can reduce the occurrence of this phenomenon and reduce the knock intensity.
